March madness is a little tougher to win than a BCS championship

First, congrats to our TSC bretheren on another confy title.

Second, I believe KU, in their previous national championship, did not play any team higher than a 6 seed on their way to the championship game.  That would be like K-State never playing anyone in the top 15 in football before going to the national title game.  Your statement is denied.   

  BURRRRRNNNN

The '08 Final Four featured all four #1 seeds for the first time in NCAA tournament history, and KU won.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I am cool with letting KU borrow the term DOD from K-State.

Anyone who thinks winning a bball natty is harder than a football natty is delusional. One loss in football, especially late in the season, pretty much diminishes your chances of even making it to the title game. To win a natty in bball, you just have to get in the tournament and get hot at the right time. Look at '88 KU. They were a 6 seed.

Copyhawks 

1)  The "Beak 'em Hawks" sweatshirt idea blatantly  copied from UT's "Hook 'em Horns"

2)  The football uniforms/helmets with KANSAS on the side of helmets in EXACT same font at the NY football GIANTS during '87 season

3)  Naming something "Decade of Dominance" blatantly copied from K-State's historical success in the "money sport"

I'm sure there are dozens more examples.  Feel free to add to this list.

Winning six games in a row in a one-and-done format is much more difficult than winning a division of the SEC and getting placed into the national title game.  Football doesn't have a true national championship.  It's a joke.

I wish they would consider a football playoff system.  That would really help.  If only right?

In football you have to win 12 or 13 games in a row, unless your name is Alabama or Oklahoma or something.

It's not really a true playoff.  Four teams from each major conference get placed into the Final Four.  I wish it was that easy in hoops.

LSU won the national title with two losses in '08.

This coming from a fanbase that has one of the most generic mascots in all of college sports, with a fight song copied from various sources (including Indiana State and Purdue), with a logo that's a direct rip-off of Iowa's Hawkeye.

Both logos were designed by Tom Bookwalter.  A K-State art professor.

False.

So Colbert, who went on to leave his Cedar Rapids hometown to work for 25 years at high-powered Chicago ad agency Leo Burnett, focused on the head, eye and beak of a hawk. The “Tiger Hawk” name came from the striping in the design.

“We got it done in a week,” Colbert said. “It didn’t have an impact on a flat piece of art. So on that Friday night, I called George Wine to see if we could silk-screen it onto a couple of helmets. On Monday morning we had an appointment to see Hayden. We walked in a conference room with no presentation, no buildup. It was a shot in the dark.”

Colbert and Edwards showed Fry the helmets with the logo.

“I like that!” Fry said in the meeting, according to Wine. “A real splash of sunshine!”

Shortly after Colbert and Edwards returned to Cedar Rapids, they got a call from Wine. Fry had given his approval. The Tiger Hawk had taken flight.

“Looking back,” Colbert said, “schools weren’t doing any aggressive marketing at that time. Michigan was the only one selling anything, but that was just because of the sheer numbers of its alumni base.”

Fry and Colbert formed the Hawkeye Marketing Group, which put the Tiger Hawk on ball caps, shirts, playing cards and other items sold to promote the school’s football program.

When Colbert moved to Chicago in 1982, he and Fry donated the logo to the university.

It may not have been an instant smash in 1979, but the Tiger Hawk caught on quickly enough.

“A lot of people in the beginning were asking ‘Where did Herky go?’” Colbert said.

But by Fry’s third season, when Iowa shared the Big Ten title in 1981 and went to the Rose Bowl, it was a different story.

“That Rose Bowl year, the university saw the potential of it,” Colbert said. “Vendors started coming around. The school didn’t even have licensing fees yet.”

But before long, the university opened an Iowa Hawk Shop. It now has four locations. And vendors keep paying the school those fees.

“Quite honestly,” Colbert said, “if the team hadn’t won that third year, who knows how far (the logo) would have gone?”

Now it’s hard to imagine Hawkeye sports abandoning the Tiger Hawk.

“Nobody ever thought 30 years ago that you could design a logo that would last 30 years,” Edwards said. “I don’t think anybody could have predicted how big it would be.

“It’s really an Iowa logo. People associate it with Iowa. You see it all over the state. All over the world, really. It’s bigger than life.”

It’s always been known that Fry had a major role in designing the logo. Colbert, however, has been an unsung hero. At 71, he is retired and living in Aurora, Ill. He has been asked to appear at FRY Fest, appear in a booth there and tell Hawkeye fans about how an iconic image came to be.

K-State fans are the only ones who consider a decade with one conference title and zero national championships "dominant."
